all have come from and what's waiting for us in future in this respect this is a historic event which marks russia's return to space science america is also about to send its new telescope their web which is supposed to replace hobble in two thousand and fourteen is that a new space research race between moscow and washington or are they working together. it's not a matter of racing against each other although many would like to see that happen simply because an element of competitiveness has always been more interesting and attractive to people with first so-called space race is an attempt to influence voters who could determine this policy on the one hand on the other it's also an attempt to influence authorities with the aim of securing a budget to realize huge space ambitions yes it sounds like it's nothing but rats rick you say there is no any cold war style space raids. i don't see any race today in most cases whatever you say we cooperate internationally american

satellites are fitted out with russian equipment we install european equipment in our satellite and italian satellites and the chinese many satellites are to be launched soon all this is only possible through international cooperation but of course it's prestigious to be a space superpower this globe is still not a large one that's why everybody's trying to join it. with america's shuttle program coming to an end russia is set to become the only country able of sending people into space but how long will that monopoly last. the u.s. is aiming to have a new space launch program for man's ships and a new manned space ship ready by twenty sixteen but this depends on investment from the private sector let's wait and see how things go i think that today russia's role is irreplaceable because at the moment the world has only one manned space ship so used which is capable of taking cosmonauts to orbit including the international space station. at that as

a great responsibility. if we were unprepared we wouldn't have signed an agreement with nasa and the european space agency on delivering cosmonauts to the i.s.a.'s we carry that responsibility as a matter of course the american media is very nice no oversight in the subtle program they call it a different thing washington is making a mistake. that americans should come to terms with us there's nothing they can do about it although the media's reaction was one of sorrow it's seen as a strategic blunder in manned space of development and construction the shuttles have exhausted themselves from the point of view of reliability and efficiency they turned out to be expensive toys which have been completely justified the investment made in them american names exploring mars and top space priorities what does russia focused on. those who say a flight to mars is a top space priority understand that it's a very long term goal which is unlikely to be achieved will i hold this post it

makes the life of those who set such priorities easier and more comfortable in my view the organization should prepare for one core objective it may even be applied to the mars program but it should dictate developments today tomorrow and the day after because anyway people need some tangible results and the taxpayer who contributes huge sums of money to space exploration wants to see a return on his or her investment that is why our program is split into a number of priorities and yes today decisions on the future of manned space exploration are made as a global level during closed door meetings with space agency heads in europe and of course with nasa chief charles bolden as well as the french british germans and italians the main pool so to speak to determine space policy we arrived at the conclusion that today no single country is in a position to develop such a huge space program like a flight to mars on its own. international cooperation is fundamental on my initiative we've set up an expert group to prepare proposals by the year's end on

how to realize and consolidate international cooperation and how to divide obligations and responsibilities between various space agencies in order to avoid duplicating each other we need to define responsibilities of each party involved at this stage we haven't got past talking about it that's for immediate challenges to mount spaceflight the most important thing for russia is to increase its role to at least the american segment of the international space station our second goal is to return to the international automated spacecraft manufacturing pool we must regain our position in manufacturing communications surveillance and meteorology satellites the three major fields an automated spacecraft in communications we're beginning to establish cooperation with europe on transponders we've also launched two meteorology units and over the next three years we plan to launch a pool of satellites that would make russia self-sufficient in all meteorological issues weather forecasting or any climatic emergency warning. as for earth surveillance we're launching our first satellite this year to detect and forecast

geological or natural emergencies this is a direction we'll follow through on i think the key for us now is to use western technologies to regain our positions in third country markets such as south east asia africa and south america where the u.s.s.r. or russia traditionally had a strong position after all black faces were not welcome in europe or in north america whatever new technologies we might have one fortunately social demand has changed a lot we're planning a number of steps aimed at popularizing space exploration and reviving public interest in it priorities in life i'll use in russia have changed but i remember the baikonur launch site in soviet times everybody working there enjoyed first rate conditions and high salaries they had a car and you know nothing about the basic commodities deficit that the entire country was suffering from those employed in the space industry where the cost of the chosen ones today the cost is different with a different profit focus therefore it's hard to work on populism and patriotism alone today society is more pragmatic i can see it even in my own kids our circle

is completely blown us we've been talking about it since two thousand and seven and it's high time to realizes what are the main talent. is facing today. this base industry is so bloated to make it a global issue since one thousand nine hundred one ninety percent of russia's space sector consists of soviet era industries contemporary technologies and equipment are totally different as a result the sector is inefficient our labor capacity and i put is lower than in the west we completed first phase restructuring and vertically aligned industries according to output but now we need to horizontally integrate i established three or four powerful holdings each of them producing particular rockets control systems and so on and then to capitalize this field to meet western labor capacity and efficiency standards unfortunately we still follow soviet era developments to a large extent. president medvedev stressed the need more than eyes russia's space

industry all day with the trusty rockets are still hard work. but. today we've been modernizing a lot of the soviet produced equipment like the soyuz which is an upgrade of a rocket created by call your the proton m. carrying the telescope by is based on the design of the one nine hundred sixty s. on the one hundred means that are precursors produced a design that still in demand today as we discussed russia is the only country delivering people into space today it boasts more than forty percent of the launch services market for on the other hand on fortunately russia has lost out on a strong position in satellite development european and us systems dominate this sector but. do understand that so what's wrong. with again it's a bloated industry sector which can only be resolved through modernization of every aspect we have to look at the issue from a both identify and remove all necessary parts despite the pain now is the critical

time for making these decisions and they are being made now. longer a stratum to the first man. does this tell us anything about russia's importance and that legacy alive with a vibrant. it's a recognition of the achievements of the u.s.s.r. and its successor russia it promotes russia as an advanced space exploration country i don't think that every person going to london talks is aware of that therefore drawing to attention to it is helpful. for russian space agency thank you very much for talking to our. question is that so much i'm going to give each musician the power to find the mark

tonight so former news of the world journalist who blew the whistle on phone hacking at the british tabloid is dead that is how it comes as the storm around rupert murdoch's media empire turns its focus on the police to the president of. the taliban assassinates more high ranking officials in afghanistan as nato begins to hand over control of the country's provinces to local forces facing huge question marks over their ability to cope. and russian security forces boil a major terror plot in moscow which is believed could have caused huge loss of life .

welcome this is r t it's eleven pm monday night here in moscow it's kevin zero in with you this hour with our top story and a former news of the world reporter who was the paper's first ex employee to say the senior executives encouraged phone hacking has been found dead that is home police say there don't appear to be any suspicious circumstances shawn hall was quoted by the new york times as saying that illicit phone tapping was widely used as a means of finding stories and then editor and it cools the course of most recently served as david cameron's media adviser and has denied the claims it comes as pressure grows around the prime minister after the top cop who resigned in the wake of the scandal to. but the research choosing the news of the world executives there's a. it's a complicated story. the feeling on the ground here in london is that this is an unfolding scandal not one which is drawing to an end every day there are more allegations and more arrests and mauls resignations and this missiles we've seen

the country's two top police officers resign in the last couple of days over the relationship of the police with the news of the world needs paper and there are several reasons for that the first is that police obviously closed an investigation into phone hacking back in two thousand and nine saying that there was no evidence to support it and of course we've also seen allegations that police including offices a senior is detectives were involved in accepting bribes from journalists at the news of the world in an exchange for tipoffs allegedly now when the assistant commissioner yates resigned he says that the news of the world had been uncooperative in that original inquiry but that he never lied and that's all the information that he's provided to parliament about the phone hacking scandal up to now was in good faith but m.p.'s widely dismissed that evidence is.
